Miller, Contracting Officer, Phone 407-380-8383 WEB: NAWCTSD Home Page, Request for Proposals, http://www.ntsc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: Julie Pasco, NAWCTSD, Code 25722, pascoj@navair.navy.mil. This a Firm Fixed Price Requirement (FFP) and a sole-source procurement with Kollmorgen Corporation, 347 King St., Northhampton, MA 01060-2390, for the period of one base year and three 12 month options. BACKGROUND: The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) currently has a contract with Kollmorgen, Inc. to procure and install the on board training Image Generator (IG), and develop application software and 35 visual contacts (targets) for the Virginia Class submarine, Photonics Mast On-board Trainer (PMOBT) program. A similar visual training system (STVTS-2000) will be procured by NAWCTSD as a replacement to the existing visual systems found in the attack centers at the submarine schoolhouses. The STVTS-2000 will be interfaced into the Submarine Multi-Mission Team Trainer (SMMTT) Phase II trainers that are replacing the current fire control and sonar training systems, also within the attack centers. NAWCTSD is tasked to replace the existing STVTS Device 21B68 visual systems, located at the shore based submarine centers, concurrent with the NAVSEA SMMTT Phase II upgrade to the Attack Centers. In order to minimize development time and procurement costs, NAVSEA is requiring maximum leveraging of PMOBT unique simulation/application software to the STVTS-2000 program plus maximum commonality of hardware and interchangeability of databases (contacts and coastlines) developed for both the PMOBT and STVTS-2000 programs. Therefore, the leveraging of the PMOBT unique simulation software, scenario control and, overall simulation management technology development is a major part of this effort. There will be some differences between the PMOBT and STVTS-2000 final software products. By tasking, NAWCTSD is to make maximum use of PMOBT simulation and application software, developed models, databases, data sources, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software. 1. In response to the above tasking, NAWCTSD, Orlando, Florida intends to award a sole source contract to Kollmorgen Inc. for the procurement of the STVTS-2000 systems. The Alpha contracting method is proposed for this contract. A total of eight systems will be procured and installed at various Naval Submarine Training Sites over five years. These systems include system hardware, operating system software, unique simulation/application software, and an interface with the SMMTT Phase II trainer (instructor operator station). All software developed for the PMOBT program (except interface software) must be usable for the STVTS-2000 program, i.e., the simulation and application software, visual contact(s), coastline database(s), etc. must play on the STVTS-2000 system. All visual contact and coastline databases developed for STVTS-2000 must be usable in the PMOBT program. There is no intent by the government to provide any PMOBT government furnished property or equipment (GFP/GFE). 2. The tasks involved with this procurement include, but are not limited to, the following list. -- Acquisition and integration with SMMTT of the Image Generator (IG) hardware that is functionally the same as that selected by the PMOBT program. -- Procurement of the identical software operating system as that selected by PMOBT. -- Development of contact(s) and coastline(s) databases that are interchangeable with PMOBT. -- Leveraging of PMOBT unique simulation/application software to the STVTS-2000 program. -- Development of an interface between the STVTS-2000 and the SMMTT Phase II trainer. -- Development and or procurement of a periscope visual display system, or upgrade of the existing system, including the design of any necessary interfaces. -- Upgrading of existing periscopes to Type 18 at all Fast Attack Submarine Training Centers. -- Refurbishing existing periscopes, as required, including periscope trainee stations. -- Refurbishing Type 15/8 scopes at TRIDENT training facilities, including trainee periscope stations. -- On site integration and testing of the STVTS-2000 with the SMMTT at NUWC Newport, RI. -- Installation, testing and on site supportat all eight training sites, including removal and disposal of hardware as necessary. -- Training of NUWC in the operation of STVTS-2000. -- Develop documentation consisting of the delta between applicable PMOBT CDRLs and STVTS-2000 unique CDRLs as required. -- 3. Interested contractors (other than Kollmorgen) should respond with the following additional information. -- The company should state how they would leverage the PMOBT unique simulation/application software to the STVTS-2000 program. -- The company should state how they would interact with Kollmorgen to ensure that all software developed for PMOBT is usable for the STVTS-2000 program. -- The company should state how they would ensure all contacts and coastline databases developed for STVTS-2000 will be usable for the PMOBT program. -- State how the contractor would leverage software development efforts to achieve maximum cost savings. -- Give an outline or synopsis of a program similar to this announcement and how you achieved success of program objectives. -- Give a history of your company and its experience or involvement and current capabilities with visual systems and graphics and what systems/graphics you have developed or worked on in the past. -- The contractor should list any other data pertinent to his response to this notice.
